After completing my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Stellenbosch University, I moved to Scotland, where I did my PhD in Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. Here I tutored machine learning and natural language processing courses. I then did a postdoc at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, a research laboratory affiliated with the University of Chicago. In July 2017 I returned to Stellenbosch, where I am currently an Associate Professor in Electrical & Electronic Engineering. From 2022 I am also our department’s Postgraduate Programme Coordinator.
